it must have been 10 years ago – the Knesset wanted to know about writers and their needs. Someone posted the picture of Avihai speaking for Avihai Kimhai’s birthday and I remembered that the moment they snapped this picture, I was realizing that something could be done for the arts – but it was going to be because of Avihai, not weaklings like me. My mood had been so positive entering the meeting – but now you can see in the picture how glum I am.
